Abstract
A heterojunction semiconductor field effect transistor HFET having a pair of layers of different semiconductor materials forming a quantum well within the structure to support the 2DEG. Source, drain and gate electrodes are disposed above the channel. The HFET has a predetermined transconductance. A transconductance control electrode varies an electric field within the structure under the channel to vary the shape of the quantum well and thereby the transconductance of the FET in accordance with a variable control signal fed to the transconductance control electrode.
